Curious how Pass works? I read their terms and you receive credits, not money, when something is sold with your image on it. The credits can be converted to cash under limited circumstances. Also states that it may take up to 30 days to receive a cash payout. The interface looks nice and if it were a get paid as you go site I would jump in with both feet. Just not sure how this model works? Am I missing something? Thank you for the great show and the amazing content as always!
Good question, maybe we can get Sara or David Jay to comment on this.
Hey John – great question. When redeeming your credits for cash it usually happens in just a few days and I’m glad you’re enjoying the Pass interface and hopefully you heard about our latest announcement that allows you to put up as many photos as you want completely free and they stay sharable, online and backed-up for 10 years. Let me know if you have any questions.
How long does it take to be activated once you have registered? Just for clarification, there is still a fee for more than 100 images in a single gallery, correct?
